About
Envetec

Envetec is an Irish company with a global vision to create clean change. Our mission is to assist all laboratories to achieve their sustainability goals.

Envetec was founded in 2021 as a spin-out from Technopath Clinical Diagnostics, a leader in clinical diagnostics, whose clients included global diagnostic companies and clinical laboratories. Envetec’s GENERATIONS® – our clean technology – represents 10 years of investment in research and development combined with industry collaboration to deliver the best solution for the safe treatment of laboratory biohazardous waste while becoming the essential link in the chain to enable single use plastic recycling.

One day all waste will be treated this way.

Envetec is disruptive. Our team comes from pharma, diagnostics, sport, business, technology, media, science and financial services.

With such widespread experience one would expect conflict but what has been achieved is a relentless curiosity. There is another way, a different way, a better way. We are a R&D Cleantech company building sustainable solutions to reduce CO2 emissions and enable the circular economy, replacing current unsustainable practices. There is no longer a reason to continue to cook, bury and burn valuable resources. There is a better way, the Envetec way.

Meet the Team
The people who
make it all happen

Envetec has built an experienced team with a tangible track record of success. At its core is a passion for excellence, a drive for innovation and a mission to make a real difference. GENERATIONS is not just the name of our technology; it is a central tenet of our philosophy.

What can we learn from past generations, what can the younger generations teach us about the world they want to live in and how can we leave a beneficial legacy for future generations? Our Board has chaired or directed sector appropriate businesses in the past, our executives have delivered at the highest levels of performance and our team has the energy and curiosity to learn from the past to deliver for the future.

Leadership team

Malcolm Bell

Chief Executive Officer

Malcolm Bell serves as Chief Executive Officer of Envetec Sustainable Technologies, Ireland's first cleantech company focused on breakthrough innovations to treat and repurpose biohazardous waste materials on-site, significantly reducing dependency on landfills, incineration and autoclaving. Addressing the growing urgency to achieve a substantive path toward net-zero from the diagnostic, healthcare, and food and beverage industries, Malcolm established Envetec as a standalone business in 2021. Based on extensive R&D investment, the company is poised to transform the management of biohazardous, biomedical and regulated medical waste, introducing first-in-class environmentally friendly technologies.

In 2004, Malcolm co-founded Technopath Clinical Diagnostics, a global leader in developing and manufacturing innovative quality control (QC) solutions for clinical laboratories used in 125 countries. He served as CEO and oversaw the successful acquisition of the company to LGC in 2020.
Malcolm has a track record of creating significant value by advancing assets, intellectual property, technology, and product portfolios. In 2014, he spun out two companies from Technopath - ValitaCell Ltd and Oculer Ltd, respectively. Both spin-offs have allowed each company to commercialize disruptive technologies spanning drug discovery and development, food quality, food safety, and environmental monitoring applications.

Most recently, Malcolm consulted for New York's largest healthcare provider, Northwell Health, by being appointed President & CEO of Northwell Holdings and Ventures, the for-profit organization of the hospital network. Within 12 months, he created a five-year strategic roadmap to support critical funding initiatives, including evaluating the Health System's existing investment portfolio, investment companies, and joint ventures alongside introducing a new operating model and organizational structure.

Malcolm earned his undergraduate degree in molecular biology and his master's degree in biotechnology from the National University of Ireland.
